I have a query like below:

SELECT col1,col2,col3,col4,col5
FROM
(select x.*,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit1,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit2,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit3,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit4,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit5
from
(select
a.*,
(select IT_PKG.IT_SPECS(charges, TRUNC(usrdate), 'N')
from dual) AS it_Specs
from
tabl1 A
ORDER BY a.col1,a.col2, a.col3, a.col4, a.col5) x) a, tabl2 B
WHERE A.CA = B.CA
group by
col1,col2,col3,col4,col5

The number of records tabl1 ranges from 100 to 25000. The number of records in tabl2 are one thousands.
There are two table involved in function IT_SPECS. Each have half million records.
This query was working fine for few months with no performance issue.It can be seen from below trace:

call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
Execute 1 0.01 0.01 0 2 0 0
Fetch 6177 0.90 1.04 375 761 0 12351
------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
total 6179 0.92 1.06 375 763 0 12351

But performance decreased significantly apparently for no reason.

call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Parse 1 0.02 0.03 0 0 0 0
Execute 1 0.02 0.10 239 153 0 0
Fetch 107 5.58 26.54 680 70660 0 10637
------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
total 109 5.64 26.67 919 70813 0 10637

My question why I am getting high query value and elapsed time is also high?
The fetch count is second case is less but it has no impact on performance.

Welcome to the forum. Please read our OraFAQ Forum Guide and please read How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

I've formatted your code, here:
SELECT col1,
       col2,
       col3,
       col4,
       col5
FROM   (SELECT x.*,
               To_number(Substr(it_specs, Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) + 1,
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 2) -
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) - 1)
               ) unit1,
               To_number(Substr(it_specs, Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) + 1,
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 2) -
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) - 1)
               ) unit2,
               To_number(Substr(it_specs, Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) + 1,
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 2) -
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) - 1)
               ) unit3,
               To_number(Substr(it_specs, Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) + 1,
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 2) -
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) - 1)
               ) unit4,
               To_number(Substr(it_specs, Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) + 1,
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 2) -
                                   Instr(it_specs, ',', 1, 1) - 1)
               ) unit5
        FROM   (SELECT a.*,
                       (SELECT it_pkg.It_specs(charges, Trunc(usrdate), 'N')
                        FROM   dual) AS it_Specs
                FROM   tabl1 A
                ORDER  BY a.col1,
                          a.col2,
                          a.col3,
                          a.col4,
                          a.col5) x) a,
       tabl2 B
WHERE  A.ca = B.ca
GROUP  BY col1,
          col2,
          col3,
          col4,
          col5 
You see how much easier that is to read?
You'll need to get an execution plan for the statement and provide the DDL of tables and indexes. All this is described in the Guide.

Are you sure that's the correct query?
Because as far as I can see it's equivalent to this:
SELECT col1,
       col2,
       col3,
       col4,
       col5
FROM tabl1 A,
     tabl2 B
WHERE  A.ca = B.ca
GROUP  BY col1,
          col2,
          col3,
          col4,
          col5

Here is correct query:

SELECT col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,unit1,unit2,unit3,unit4,unit5
FROM
(select x.*,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit1,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit2,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit3,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit4,
to_number(substr(it_specs,instr(it_specs,',',1,1)+1,instr(it_specs,',',1,2)-instr(it_specs,',',1,1)-1)) unit5
from
(select
a.*,
(select IT_PKG.IT_SPECS(charges, TRUNC(usrdate), 'N')
from dual) AS it_Specs
from
tabl1 A
ORDER BY a.col1,a.col2, a.col3, a.col4, a.col5) x) a, tabl2 B
WHERE A.CA = B.CA
group by
col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,unit1,unit2,unit3,unit4,unit5
